Jiangxi, China - A cold breeze has swept across Jiangxi as the temperature drops and rainfall of more than 30 minutes is expected in certain parts of the province from October 7 to 10. The wind speed can reach up to 6-7 levels in some areas, particularly in high altitude mountain regions, while northwest Jiangxi is expected to experience wind speeds of 3-4 levels. This sudden drop in temperature and increased rainfall is a direct result of the impending approach of Typhoon Puppy, a tropical storm that has already been reported to have taken ten hours to walk about 40 kilometers.

As of October 7 morning at 10 o'clock, the average temperature across Jiangxi province is recorded at 18.5 ° C, with a relative humidity of 91.8%. This chilly weather has prompted the National Meteorological Observatory to advise residents to keep an eye out for potential typhoon-related hazards such as heavy rainfall and strong winds in certain areas.

Meanwhile, in Guangdong Province, the approaching Typhoon Puppy is bringing a fall sensation with its cold rain in the morning. As of October 7, the National Meteorological Observatory confirmed that the 14th typhoon of this year (strong typhoon level) is located about 190 kilometers south of Shianwu County, Guangdong Province, in the North Sea off the coast of South China. The observatory advises the public to strengthen protection for vessels in related seas and prepare for wave avoidance measures.

The Typhoon Puppy has been closely monitored by the National Meteorological Center, with updates provided through live broadcasts tracking its latest situation in real time. As of the evening of October 7, the eye area of the typhoon has become blurred, and the top temperature of clouds has risen, indicating a weakening trend in convection. At 20:00, the National Meteorological Center downgraded Typhoon Puppy's intensity to 42 meters per second, which is below the lower limit of strong typhoons. The storm is expected to continue weakening in the future and may approach the southern part of Leizhou Peninsula – Hainan area. As of now, the predicted path provided by the Japanese Meteorological Agency indicates that it will pass through Qiongzhou.

On October 8th, from 08:00 to 08:00 on the next day, strong winds are expected in areas such as the East Sea in the northeast and southeast, the Taiwan Strait, and the North Sea in the South China Sea, with wind speeds reaching up to 7-8 levels and gusts of up to 9-10 levels. In some parts of the Northeast East Sea and the North Sea, wind speeds are expected to reach levels of up to 9-11 levels with gusts of up to 10-11 levels. The vicinity of Typhoon Puppy is forecasted to have the strongest winds.

In preparation for the impending storm, the National Weather Service issued a yellow storm warning on October 8th at 06:00 (Local Time). Tomorrow, our city will experience overcast weather with moderate to heavy rain in some areas, and locally heavy rainfall is expected. The temperature is forecasted to range from 21 to 25 degrees Celsius, with wind blowing at a rate of 4-5 levels northward or northwestward, and gusts up to 7-9 levels. Relative humidity is predicted to be within the range of 70% to 95%. The impact of Typhoon Puppy has prompted the National Weather Service to issue this warning in advance, urging residents to be on high alert for potential storm-related hazards and disruptions.

As netizens across China react to these developments on social media platforms like Weibo, many express concern and frustration over the sudden temperature drop and increased rainfall. Some users have humorously dubbed the impending typhoon as "Typhoon Puppy" due to its perceived cuteness and relatively small size in comparison to other typhoons this year
